(3 Jul 2017) Drone footage shows columns of black smoke rising over parts of Mosul's old city.
Islamic State group militants have been pushed back against the river after a grueling eight month campaign by Iraqi security forces.
Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake the Old City neighbourhood in mid-June and after a dawn push last Thursday, they retook the area around the al-Nuri Mosque, which the militants had blown up just a few days earlier.
After days of fierce battles, Iraqi military officers say IS now controls just over one square kilometre in all, or about 0.40 square miles.

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS took over the city, I was told that the UK had finally rejected my application.
It was the beginning of June; a curfew had been declared and I was stuck at home. The following morning my boss called me and asked me to come to work regardless. He said he would send an ambulance to pick me up. A hospital can never stop working, even during a war. A few days later, I was woken in the middle of the night by a great commotion outside. Everybody was in the street and rumours had it that IS had crossed into town, meeting little resistance.
People started to flee. I didn’t know what to do: I was torn between the need to get my family to a safe place and my commitment to the hospital. It was a time of great uncertainty. We weren’t sure who was in control until the following morning, when we saw that the barracks had been vacated – the Iraqi army had vanished.
So we decided to leave. My wife was pregnant with our first child and was dangerously close to her delivery date. She would be giving birth in Dohuk now.
For a while I kept in touch with my neighbours in Mosul – that was before ISIS banned cell phones. Now we can only use Facebook – but with a lot of caution. My home was looted so we decided to give it to a friend of my brother’s, rent-free. We have no news but I guess the family is still there or we would probably have heard something.
Recently I was browsing the news on TV and social media, wondering if I’d recognise anybody among the thousands fleeing fighting west of Makhmour, when I came across the photo of one of my closest neighbours on Facebook.
The woman – Sara, a widow in her late fifties – was being held up by her relatives as she walked across a militarised area. It was a relief to know she was safe, but also sad to see so much hardship. She had previously lost a daughter to cancer and she had just one son, my best friend for over a decade. He was a policeman, married with two young children. One day, soon after IS took over the city, two young people knocked at her door asking to see her son. She called him and, as he stepped out, he was gunned down in front of her. When she tried to hold him up she was brutally pushed aside. I showed the post to my mother, who knew her well, and the memories brought tears to her eyes.
I would love to get in touch with her to see if I can help with anything. I am sure that when they fled they had to leave everything behind.”

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups
Cold water
-Mix two kinds of burghul and wash and drain well.
-Add semolina and salt and mix well.
-Cover and set aside for about 1 hour.
-After 1 hour start kneading the dough with your hand as you would be kneading a regular bread dough. Use cold water if you need. The dough should be stiff .
-Cover again then knead again to a smooth dough.
-Add ground meat and knead the dough again until you get pliable and stiff dough. you may need to add semolina id the dough is sticky.
-Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Note :-
1-In case you use machine ( food processor ) add meat and soaked burghul and jereesh all together and process it until you get pliable dough but stiff. You may add some cold water to process it.
2-The ratio between the burghul and jereesh depend on how much you want your kubba to be grainy. You can add more burghul than jereesh if you want your kubba more grainy. For example you can add 2 cups of burghul to 1 cup of jereesh. Or you can add equal amounts. They will all turn good in the end.
How to Prepare The Filling:-
1 1/2 Ib ground beef or minced with some fat
1 1/2 -2 cup finally chopped onion
1 Tbsp 7 spices ( Bahrat )
1/2-1 tsp black pepper or to taste
1 tsp salt or to taste
Almonds silvers (optional). I didn’t add it
Raisins (optional). I didn’t add it
-In a big pan and on a high heat , cook meat and onion until onion is tender.
-Add spices, black pepper and salt and cook for a few more minutes. Make sure that there is no liquid left in the filing.
-Set aside to cool down then refrigerate for an hour or so.
Note:- Some people don’t cook the filling. They mix the ground beef, spices and salt and use it as is. I tried both way. My husband liked it with one made of raw meat.
How to Assemble the Kubba:-
1-Cut a zip lock bag in half then brush with very little oil so the dough won’t stick.
2-Take a small size of the prepared dough like the orange size and put it in one side of the plastic bag then cover with other half of the plastic bag.
3-With a rolling pin open the dough into thin layer.
4-With a big cutter or with a lid of a small pot make a round shape and get rid of of the access dough. Size of the circle depend on how big you want your kubba to be. Do the same for the rest of the dough and cover so they don’t dry.
5-Distribute the cooked filling or the raw filling on one layer of the rounded shape dough. You can put as much as you want but make sure to flat and press it down well with your hand. If you wish, You can top the filling with a few of almonds and raisins.
6-Cover with another layer of the rounded shape dough and cover with plastic then seal very well. Starting in the middle and with your hand or rolling pin, Press firmly the two layers together especially the edges to seal it. Make sure to let out the air if there is any. Roll it out to thickness of desire but be careful not to tear open the crust.
7-Keep the kubba on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Don’t not cover in this stage. The one with half circle are filled with raw meat.
8-In a big and deep pan boil water with very little salt. Add one Kubba at the time. Add the kubba with paper. Once you add it in the boiling water the paper will come off so easily. In the beginning the kubba will stay in the bottom but then will float to the top and that mean the kubba is cooked and ready to come out.
9-Take out the kubba with a big plate or a big spatula and let it dry off. Now the kubba is ready. You either eat it as is boiled or you can fry it with little of oil or you freeze it for later use. Make sure to add parchment or wax paper in between then store it in a freezer bag
Enjoy :)

Mosul is completely ruled by the Islamic State terror group headquartered in Al-Raqqah, Syria.The legitimate government of Iraq stopped paying salaries soon after the city was overrun by militants. (that ISIL allegedly exploited by stealing a generous percentage) which it had previously paid to city workers including nurses, doctors,

Located some 400km (250mi) north of Baghdad, the original city stands on the west bank of the Tigris River, opposite the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh on the east bank, but the metropolitan area has grown to encompass substantial areas on both the "Left Coast" (east side) and the "Right Coast" (west side) as the two banks are described in the local language.

Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), a Sunni Islamic group that aimed to establish an Islamic state in Iraq from 2006 to 2013

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State, or Daesh (based on its Arabic acronym), an outgrowth of ISI with a greater geographic scope

The Economist

The Economist is an English language weekly newspaper owned by the Economist Group and edited in offices based in London. Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in September 1843. For historical reasons, The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but each print edition appears on small glossy paper like a news magazine. In 2006, its average weekly circulation was reported to be 1.5 million, about half of which were sold in the United States.

The publication belongs to The Economist Group. It is 50% owned by private investors and 50% by Exor, the Agnelli holding company, and the Rothschild banking family of England. Exor and the Rothschilds are represented on the Board of Directors. A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. Although The Economist has a global emphasis and scope, about two-thirds of the 75 staff journalists are based in the City of Westminster, London. As of March 2014, the Economist Group declared operating profit of £59m. Previous major shareholders include Pearson PLC.

'Cause that's how I roll ;)

Why Mosul matters

Mosul stands on the brink of recapture from Islamic State fighters, but the future of the city is uncertain. With several parties jostling for control of Mosul, fragile alliances could fracture, increasing the likelihood of bloody sectarian conflict.

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS t...

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups

Let's be homies ;)
First I want to say that I know *VERY* little about Ramadan. Just roughly when it is and that there is fasting and lots of incredibly delicious looking food when it's time to eat! :D
Ok. Since that's out of the way...
I wanted to make Qatayef for my big Bro while he was here. Then thought, why not make some Kubba Mosul and Fatayer while I'm at it, lol
'Cause that's how I roll ;)
Here are the recipes... * drumroll *

Mosul stands on the brink of recapture from Islamic State fighters, but the future of the city is uncertain. With several parties jostling for control of Mosul, fragile alliances could fracture, increasing the likelihood of bloody sectarian conflict.

(3 Jul 2017) Drone footage shows columns of black smoke rising over parts of Mosul's old city.
Islamic State group militants have been pushed back against the river after a grueling eight month campaign by Iraqi security forces.
Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake the Old City neighbourhood in mid-June and after a dawn push last Thursday, they retook the area around the al-Nuri Mosque, which the militants had blown up just a few days earlier.
After days of fierce battles, Iraqi military officers say IS now controls just over one square kilometre in all, or about 0.40 square miles.

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS took over the city, I was told that the UK had finally rejected my application.
It was the beginning of June; a curfew had been declared and I was stuck at home. The following morning my boss called me and asked me to come to work regardless. He said he would send an ambulance to pick me up. A hospital can never stop working, even during a war. A few days later, I was woken in the middle of the night by a great commotion outside. Everybody was in the street and rumours had it that IS had crossed into town, meeting little resistance.
People started to flee. I didn’t know what to do: I was torn between the need to get my family to a safe place and my commitment to the hospital. It was a time of great uncertainty. We weren’t sure who was in control until the following morning, when we saw that the barracks had been vacated – the Iraqi army had vanished.
So we decided to leave. My wife was pregnant with our first child and was dangerously close to her delivery date. She would be giving birth in Dohuk now.
For a while I kept in touch with my neighbours in Mosul – that was before ISIS banned cell phones. Now we can only use Facebook – but with a lot of caution. My home was looted so we decided to give it to a friend of my brother’s, rent-free. We have no news but I guess the family is still there or we would probably have heard something.
Recently I was browsing the news on TV and social media, wondering if I’d recognise anybody among the thousands fleeing fighting west of Makhmour, when I came across the photo of one of my closest neighbours on Facebook.
The woman – Sara, a widow in her late fifties – was being held up by her relatives as she walked across a militarised area. It was a relief to know she was safe, but also sad to see so much hardship. She had previously lost a daughter to cancer and she had just one son, my best friend for over a decade. He was a policeman, married with two young children. One day, soon after IS took over the city, two young people knocked at her door asking to see her son. She called him and, as he stepped out, he was gunned down in front of her. When she tried to hold him up she was brutally pushed aside. I showed the post to my mother, who knew her well, and the memories brought tears to her eyes.
I would love to get in touch with her to see if I can help with anything. I am sure that when they fled they had to leave everything behind.”

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups
Cold water
-Mix two kinds of burghul and wash and drain well.
-Add semolina and salt and mix well.
-Cover and set aside for about 1 hour.
-After 1 hour start kneading the dough with your hand as you would be kneading a regular bread dough. Use cold water if you need. The dough should be stiff .
-Cover again then knead again to a smooth dough.
-Add ground meat and knead the dough again until you get pliable and stiff dough. you may need to add semolina id the dough is sticky.
-Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Note :-
1-In case you use machine ( food processor ) add meat and soaked burghul and jereesh all together and process it until you get pliable dough but stiff. You may add some cold water to process it.
2-The ratio between the burghul and jereesh depend on how much you want your kubba to be grainy. You can add more burghul than jereesh if you want your kubba more grainy. For example you can add 2 cups of burghul to 1 cup of jereesh. Or you can add equal amounts. They will all turn good in the end.
How to Prepare The Filling:-
1 1/2 Ib ground beef or minced with some fat
1 1/2 -2 cup finally chopped onion
1 Tbsp 7 spices ( Bahrat )
1/2-1 tsp black pepper or to taste
1 tsp salt or to taste
Almonds silvers (optional). I didn’t add it
Raisins (optional). I didn’t add it
-In a big pan and on a high heat , cook meat and onion until onion is tender.
-Add spices, black pepper and salt and cook for a few more minutes. Make sure that there is no liquid left in the filing.
-Set aside to cool down then refrigerate for an hour or so.
Note:- Some people don’t cook the filling. They mix the ground beef, spices and salt and use it as is. I tried both way. My husband liked it with one made of raw meat.
How to Assemble the Kubba:-
1-Cut a zip lock bag in half then brush with very little oil so the dough won’t stick.
2-Take a small size of the prepared dough like the orange size and put it in one side of the plastic bag then cover with other half of the plastic bag.
3-With a rolling pin open the dough into thin layer.
4-With a big cutter or with a lid of a small pot make a round shape and get rid of of the access dough. Size of the circle depend on how big you want your kubba to be. Do the same for the rest of the dough and cover so they don’t dry.
5-Distribute the cooked filling or the raw filling on one layer of the rounded shape dough. You can put as much as you want but make sure to flat and press it down well with your hand. If you wish, You can top the filling with a few of almonds and raisins.
6-Cover with another layer of the rounded shape dough and cover with plastic then seal very well. Starting in the middle and with your hand or rolling pin, Press firmly the two layers together especially the edges to seal it. Make sure to let out the air if there is any. Roll it out to thickness of desire but be careful not to tear open the crust.
7-Keep the kubba on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Don’t not cover in this stage. The one with half circle are filled with raw meat.
8-In a big and deep pan boil water with very little salt. Add one Kubba at the time. Add the kubba with paper. Once you add it in the boiling water the paper will come off so easily. In the beginning the kubba will stay in the bottom but then will float to the top and that mean the kubba is cooked and ready to come out.
9-Take out the kubba with a big plate or a big spatula and let it dry off. Now the kubba is ready. You either eat it as is boiled or you can fry it with little of oil or you freeze it for later use. Make sure to add parchment or wax paper in between then store it in a freezer bag
Enjoy :)

12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!

The purpose of this trip was to journey into the deepest corners of Iraq where the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, the Yazidi people are currently exiled in large populations outside of from their homes and villages in refugee camps after fleeing for their lives from the enslavement, genocide and torture at the hands of ISIS extremist.
I hope you enjoy this series. My intention as a filmmaker has never been to exploit anyone for the purpose of entertainment but to inform and show the public the urgent need for recognition needed by these people from the Global Community. I believe this journey and series will however make you laugh, cry, and ideally see the beauty of a people who have lost everything and been through things unimaginable and yet they maintained their dignity are fighting for their lost brothers and sisters and seeking recognition by the United Nations for peace, protection and their homes back.
I hope you are inspired.

Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

Why Mosul matters

Mosul stands on the brink of recapture from Islamic State fighters, but the future of the city is uncertain. With several parties jostling for control of Mosul, fragile alliances could fracture, increasing the likelihood of bloody sectarian conflict.

Drone footage shows smoke over Mosul Old City

(3 Jul 2017) Drone footage shows columns of black smoke rising over parts of Mosul's old city.
Islamic State group militants have been pushed back against the river after a grueling eight month campaign by Iraqi security forces.
Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake the Old City neighbourhood in mid-June and after a dawn push last Thursday, they retook the area around the al-Nuri Mosque, which the militants had blown up just a few days earlier.
After days of fierce battles, Iraqi military officers say IS now controls just over one square kilometre in all, or about 0.40 square miles.

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS t...

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS took over the city, I was told that the UK had finally rejected my application.
It was the beginning of June; a curfew had been declared and I was stuck at home. The following morning my boss called me and asked me to come to work regardless. He said he would send an ambulance to pick me up. A hospital can never stop working, even during a war. A few days later, I was woken in the middle of the night by a great commotion outside. Everybody was in the street and rumours had it that IS had crossed into town, meeting little resistance.
People started to flee. I didn’t know what to do: I was torn between the need to get my family to a safe place and my commitment to the hospital. It was a time of great uncertainty. We weren’t sure who was in control until the following morning, when we saw that the barracks had been vacated – the Iraqi army had vanished.
So we decided to leave. My wife was pregnant with our first child and was dangerously close to her delivery date. She would be giving birth in Dohuk now.
For a while I kept in touch with my neighbours in Mosul – that was before ISIS banned cell phones. Now we can only use Facebook – but with a lot of caution. My home was looted so we decided to give it to a friend of my brother’s, rent-free. We have no news but I guess the family is still there or we would probably have heard something.
Recently I was browsing the news on TV and social media, wondering if I’d recognise anybody among the thousands fleeing fighting west of Makhmour, when I came across the photo of one of my closest neighbours on Facebook.
The woman – Sara, a widow in her late fifties – was being held up by her relatives as she walked across a militarised area. It was a relief to know she was safe, but also sad to see so much hardship. She had previously lost a daughter to cancer and she had just one son, my best friend for over a decade. He was a policeman, married with two young children. One day, soon after IS took over the city, two young people knocked at her door asking to see her son. She called him and, as he stepped out, he was gunned down in front of her. When she tried to hold him up she was brutally pushed aside. I showed the post to my mother, who knew her well, and the memories brought tears to her eyes.
I would love to get in touch with her to see if I can help with anything. I am sure that when they fled they had to leave everything behind.”

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups
Cold water
-Mix two kinds of burghul and wash and drain well.
-Add semolina and salt and mix well.
-Cover and set aside for about 1 hour.
-After 1 hour start kneading the dough with your hand as you would be kneading a regular bread dough. Use cold water if you need. The dough should be stiff .
-Cover again then knead again to a smooth dough.
-Add ground meat and knead the dough again until you get pliable and stiff dough. you may need to add semolina id the dough is sticky.
-Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Note :-
1-In case you use machine ( food processor ) add meat and soaked burghul and jereesh all together and process it until you get pliable dough but stiff. You may add some cold water to process it.
2-The ratio between the burghul and jereesh depend on how much you want your kubba to be grainy. You can add more burghul than jereesh if you want your kubba more grainy. For example you can add 2 cups of burghul to 1 cup of jereesh. Or you can add equal amounts. They will all turn good in the end.
How to Prepare The Filling:-
1 1/2 Ib ground beef or minced with some fat
1 1/2 -2 cup finally chopped onion
1 Tbsp 7 spices ( Bahrat )
1/2-1 tsp black pepper or to taste
1 tsp salt or to taste
Almonds silvers (optional). I didn’t add it
Raisins (optional). I didn’t add it
-In a big pan and on a high heat , cook meat and onion until onion is tender.
-Add spices, black pepper and salt and cook for a few more minutes. Make sure that there is no liquid left in the filing.
-Set aside to cool down then refrigerate for an hour or so.
Note:- Some people don’t cook the filling. They mix the ground beef, spices and salt and use it as is. I tried both way. My husband liked it with one made of raw meat.
How to Assemble the Kubba:-
1-Cut a zip lock bag in half then brush with very little oil so the dough won’t stick.
2-Take a small size of the prepared dough like the orange size and put it in one side of the plastic bag then cover with other half of the plastic bag.
3-With a rolling pin open the dough into thin layer.
4-With a big cutter or with a lid of a small pot make a round shape and get rid of of the access dough. Size of the circle depend on how big you want your kubba to be. Do the same for the rest of the dough and cover so they don’t dry.
5-Distribute the cooked filling or the raw filling on one layer of the rounded shape dough. You can put as much as you want but make sure to flat and press it down well with your hand. If you wish, You can top the filling with a few of almonds and raisins.
6-Cover with another layer of the rounded shape dough and cover with plastic then seal very well. Starting in the middle and with your hand or rolling pin, Press firmly the two layers together especially the edges to seal it. Make sure to let out the air if there is any. Roll it out to thickness of desire but be careful not to tear open the crust.
7-Keep the kubba on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Don’t not cover in this stage. The one with half circle are filled with raw meat.
8-In a big and deep pan boil water with very little salt. Add one Kubba at the time. Add the kubba with paper. Once you add it in the boiling water the paper will come off so easily. In the beginning the kubba will stay in the bottom but then will float to the top and that mean the kubba is cooked and ready to come out.
9-Take out the kubba with a big plate or a big spatula and let it dry off. Now the kubba is ready. You either eat it as is boiled or you can fry it with little of oil or you freeze it for later use. Make sure to add parchment or wax paper in between then store it in a freezer bag
Enjoy :)

Why Mosul matters

Mosul stands on the brink of recapture from Islamic State fighters, but the future of the city is uncertain. With several parties jostling for control of Mosul, fragile alliances could fracture, increasing the likelihood of bloody sectarian conflict.

Drone footage shows smoke over Mosul Old City

(3 Jul 2017) Drone footage shows columns of black smoke rising over parts of Mosul's old city.
Islamic State group militants have been pushed back against the river after a grueling eight month campaign by Iraqi security forces.
Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake the Old City neighbourhood in mid-June and after a dawn push last Thursday, they retook the area around the al-Nuri Mosque, which the militants had blown up just a few days earlier.
After days of fierce battles, Iraqi military officers say IS now controls just over one square kilometre in all, or about 0.40 square miles.

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS took over the city, I was told that the UK had finally rejected my application.
It was the beginning of June; a curfew had been declared and I was stuck at home. The following morning my boss called me and asked me to come to work regardless. He said he would send an ambulance to pick me up. A hospital can never stop working, even during a war. A few days later, I was woken in the middle of the night by a great commotion outside. Everybody was in the street and rumours had it that IS had crossed into town, meeting little resistance.
People started to flee. I didn’t know what to do: I was torn between the need to get my family to a safe place and my commitment to the hospital. It was a time of great uncertainty. We weren’t sure who was in control until the following morning, when we saw that the barracks had been vacated – the Iraqi army had vanished.
So we decided to leave. My wife was pregnant with our first child and was dangerously close to her delivery date. She would be giving birth in Dohuk now.
For a while I kept in touch with my neighbours in Mosul – that was before ISIS banned cell phones. Now we can only use Facebook – but with a lot of caution. My home was looted so we decided to give it to a friend of my brother’s, rent-free. We have no news but I guess the family is still there or we would probably have heard something.
Recently I was browsing the news on TV and social media, wondering if I’d recognise anybody among the thousands fleeing fighting west of Makhmour, when I came across the photo of one of my closest neighbours on Facebook.
The woman – Sara, a widow in her late fifties – was being held up by her relatives as she walked across a militarised area. It was a relief to know she was safe, but also sad to see so much hardship. She had previously lost a daughter to cancer and she had just one son, my best friend for over a decade. He was a policeman, married with two young children. One day, soon after IS took over the city, two young people knocked at her door asking to see her son. She called him and, as he stepped out, he was gunned down in front of her. When she tried to hold him up she was brutally pushed aside. I showed the post to my mother, who knew her well, and the memories brought tears to her eyes.

This is my first attempt of making this kind of Kubba. I was always intimidated by making it; I never thought I will be able to make it. My dear mom always made it and she usually sent me my share or I buy it. Now I can’t find it where I live, so I had to make it. It was really a good and successful recipe from first trial. I made it with no machine first because this is how it was made before and second I want to prove you, you can make anything with no excuse:). So if I made it , you can defiantly can make it too :)
How to Make the Crust:-
1 cup medium burghul (#2) or (#1) . I used (#2)
2 cups fine brughul (jereesh )
1/4 cup semolina (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Ib ground red meat (no fat) about 2 cups
Cold water
-Mix two kinds of burghul and wash and drain well.
-Add semolina and salt and mix well.
-Cover and set aside for about 1 hour.
-After 1 hour start kneading the dough with your hand as you would be kneading a regular bread dough. Use cold water if you need. The dough should be stiff .
-Cover again then knead again to a smooth dough.
-Add ground meat and knead the dough again until you get pliable and stiff dough. you may need to add semolina id the dough is sticky.
-Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Note :-
1-In case you use machine ( food processor ) add meat and soaked burghul and jereesh all together and process it until you get pliable dough but stiff. You may add some cold water to process it.
2-The ratio between the burghul and jereesh depend on how much you want your kubba to be grainy. You can add more burghul than jereesh if you want your kubba more grainy. For example you can add 2 cups of burghul to 1 cup of jereesh. Or you can add equal amounts. They will all turn good in the end.
How to Prepare The Filling:-
1 1/2 Ib ground beef or minced with some fat
1 1/2 -2 cup finally chopped onion
1 Tbsp 7 spices ( Bahrat )
1/2-1 tsp black pepper or to taste
1 tsp salt or to taste
Almonds silvers (optional). I didn’t add it
Raisins (optional). I didn’t add it
-In a big pan and on a high heat , cook meat and onion until onion is tender.
-Add spices, black pepper and salt and cook for a few more minutes. Make sure that there is no liquid left in the filing.
-Set aside to cool down then refrigerate for an hour or so.
Note:- Some people don’t cook the filling. They mix the ground beef, spices and salt and use it as is. I tried both way. My husband liked it with one made of raw meat.
How to Assemble the Kubba:-
1-Cut a zip lock bag in half then brush with very little oil so the dough won’t stick.
2-Take a small size of the prepared dough like the orange size and put it in one side of the plastic bag then cover with other half of the plastic bag.
3-With a rolling pin open the dough into thin layer.
4-With a big cutter or with a lid of a small pot make a round shape and get rid of of the access dough. Size of the circle depend on how big you want your kubba to be. Do the same for the rest of the dough and cover so they don’t dry.
5-Distribute the cooked filling or the raw filling on one layer of the rounded shape dough. You can put as much as you want but make sure to flat and press it down well with your hand. If you wish, You can top the filling with a few of almonds and raisins.
6-Cover with another layer of the rounded shape dough and cover with plastic then seal very well. Starting in the middle and with your hand or rolling pin, Press firmly the two layers together especially the edges to seal it. Make sure to let out the air if there is any. Roll it out to thickness of desire but be careful not to tear open the crust.
7-Keep the kubba on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Don’t not cover in this stage. The one with half circle are filled with raw meat.
8-In a big and deep pan boil water with very little salt. Add one Kubba at the time. Add the kubba with paper. Once you add it in the boiling water the paper will come off so easily. In the beginning the kubba will stay in the bottom but then will float to the top and that mean the kubba is cooked and ready to come out.
9-Take out the kubba with a big plate or a big spatula and let it dry off. Now the kubba is ready. You either eat it as is boiled or you can fry it with little of oil or you freeze it for later use. Make sure to add parchment or wax paper in between then store it in a freezer bag
Enjoy :)

A Visit to Iraqi Kurdistan During the Mosul Offensive

Two friends and I had travel plans change at the last minute and decided to book a trip to Iraqi Kurdistan. Shortly after our tickets were booked, the flight for Mosul began. Nonetheless, we decided to embark on our journey and discover a region full of history and beautiful people. Here are highlights from our trip. Full video to follow in the coming months.
Please consider contributing to my Indigogo campaign here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/visit-to-iraqi-kurdistan-amid-the-fight-for-mosul-travel/

HOW DANGEROUS IS TRAVEL IN IRAQ??

This is the first of a new series of videos fitting into my Minute Monologues with Mariande series.

The purpose of this trip was to journey into the deepest corners of Iraq where the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, the Yazidi people are currently exiled in large populations outside of from their homes and villages in refugee camps after fleeing for their lives from the enslavement, genocide and torture at the hands of ISIS extremist.
I hope you enjoy this series. My intention as a filmmaker has never been to exploit anyone for the purpose of entertainment but to inform and show the public the urgent need for recognition needed by these people from the Global Community. I believe this journey and series will however make you laugh, cry, and ideally see the beauty of a people who have lost everything and been through things unimaginable and yet they maintained their dignity are fighting for their lost brothers and sisters and seeking recognition by the United Nations for peace, protection and their homes back.
I hope you are inspired.

Let's see how far this message will reach :).

12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

Why Mosul matters

Mosul stands on the brink of recapture from Islamic State fighters, but the future of the city is uncertain. With several parties jostling for control of Mosul, fragile alliances could fracture, increasing the likelihood of bloody sectarian conflict.

Drone footage shows smoke over Mosul Old City

(3 Jul 2017) Drone footage shows columns of black smoke rising over parts of Mosul's old city.
Islamic State group militants have been pushed back against the river after a grueling eight month campaign by Iraqi security forces.
Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake the Old City neighbourhood in mid-June and after a dawn push last Thursday, they retook the area around the al-Nuri Mosque, which the militants had blown up just a few days earlier.
After days of fierce battles, Iraqi military officers say IS now controls just over one square kilometre in all, or about 0.40 square miles.

“I left all my memories in Mosul”

Before fleeing the advances of the Islamic State (IS) group, Baroj worked as a specialist nurse in the intensive care unit of Salam hospital in Mosul, northern Iraq. When the militant group overran his home city in June 2014, he and his family fled 75 kilometres north to Dohuk. Now Baroj is assistant coordinator of MSF’s project in Ninewa.
“Leaving Mosul was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. It meant leaving behind everything: my friends, my work, the city I was born in, my life there, and even the memories I had.
In 2013, I was selected to go to the UK for training at SheffieldHalam hospital. Out of 400 nurses across Iraq, I was among the 13 candidates who came top of the exams. But months went by and my visa request kept being denied. Exactly one week before IS took over the city, I was told that the UK had finally rejected my application.
It was the beginning of June; a curfew had been declared and I was stuck at home. The following morning my boss called me and asked me to come to work regardless. He said he would send an ambulance to pick me up. A hospital can never stop working, even during a war. A few days later, I was woken in the middle of the night by a great commotion outside. Everybody was in the street and rumours had it that IS had crossed into town, meeting little resistance.
People started to flee. I didn’t know what to do: I was torn between the need to get my family to a safe place and my commitment to the hospital. It was a time of great uncertainty. We weren’t sure who was in control until the following morning, when we saw that the barracks had been vacated – the Iraqi army had vanished.
So we decided to leave. My wife was pregnant with our first child and was dangerously close to her delivery date. She would be giving birth in Dohuk now.
For a while I kept in touch with my neighbours in Mosul – that was before ISIS banned cell phones. Now we can only use Facebook – but with a lot of caution. My home was looted so we decided to give it to a friend of my brother’s, rent-free. We have no news but I guess the family is still there or we would probably have heard something.
Recently I was browsing the news on TV and social media, wondering if I’d recognise anybody among the thousands fleeing fighting west of Makhmour, when I came across the photo of one of my closest neighbours on Facebook.
The woman – Sara, a widow in her late fifties – was being held up by her relatives as she walked across a militarised area. It was a relief to know she was safe, but also sad to see so much hardship. She had previously lost a daughter to cancer and she had just one son, my best friend for over a decade. He was a policeman, married with two young children. One day, soon after IS took over the city, two young people knocked at her door asking to see her son. She called him and, as he stepped out, he was gunned down in front of her. When she tried to hold him up she was brutally pushed aside. I showed the post to my mother, who knew her well, and the memories brought tears to her eyes.
I would love to get in touch with her to see if I can help with anything. I am sure that when they fled they had to leave everything behind.”
